Non-academic and Vocational Routes

What options are there for students not interested in University?

University isn’t the only way to become a successful professional. In fact, many of today’s professionals have ‘accidental careers’ – rather than setting out on a specific career path, they have stumbled upon their ideal profession through various work experience. In our Career Videos section you can find real life examples of professionals who have followed unusual career paths, and inspire your students to consider careers they had never dreamed of.

In this section we look at alternative routes, both non-academic and vocational, into the professions, and provide links to helpful resources when guiding those students who aren’t interested in following the traditional route.
